Abstract:
Results of studies of bright radio sources in the constellation Cetus
are presented. More than 50% of the sources have radio spectral
indices steeper than 0.9. Optical identifications have been determined
for 35 sources. A large fraction of the radio sources are identified
with weak blue galaxies. Given their spectral indices, it is likely
that these objects have redshift z=0.4-1.0. More than 20% of the
steep-spectrum sources do not have optical identifications and appear
to be weak galaxies with z>2.
